DR, HOWARD RAWLINSON Academic Dean Dean ' s Message A rich man ' s son deserts his family to sit under a tree and ponder the world ' s problems. A young girl cuts off her hair, dons male clothing, and goes to live with a group of men. A teen-ager chides bankers for their greed. A theology student defies the authority of his church. A youth incites his people to rebel against their oppressors. Sound familiar? Headlines from yesterday ' s newspaper? Not at all! The rich man ' s son was Gautama Buddha; the girl, Joan of Arc; the teen-ager, Christ; and the theology student, Martin Luther. The leader of the revolt was Tecumseh. He was trying to save his people. He brought about their destruction. Youth has always been a time for idealism, a time for reaction against the established order of things. Yet, successful reform depends upon the manner in which a problem is attacked. Results seem to depend upon proper identification of the causes, upon the methods used, and upon the clarity of vision. There always has been, there always will be, an established order. Among others, warriors, philosophers, priests, and merchants have controlled this order. The person who proposes a change in the Establishment should think well about the establishment that will supplant the old. Like Tecumseh, many who have sought to change things for the better have changed them for the worse. Just as there have always been those who would improve man ' s lot, there have also been the nihilists whose sole aim has been to destroy existing authority. Those who slay the dragon often sow the dragon ' s teeth. What has this to do with you - a Rend Lake College student? You are a part of a changing world - a part of a changing college. When an organism stops gorwing, it begins to die. The college needs your ideas; it needs your idealism; it needs your vision. The reputation of the college rests on the contributions of the students who have preceded you. Their desire for change was responsible, among other things, for shaping this publication, the newspaper, and the dramatic program. More important still, their accomplish- ments have shaped the reputation of the college in the district, in the state, and in the nation. How will you affect that reputation? What has been your contribution? What will be your contribu- tion in the future? 4
